What should I do with funeral flowers?

Today was my son's funeral and I got so many flowers. I'm very grateful, but theres just not enough room for all of them. What should I do with them? I'd hate to throw them away, and I'm not skilled enough to try to replant them.

I am very very sorry for the loss of your son, you can always press them, some places will press them for you. You can also put them in the freezer and they will last a long time.


But I personally would have them pressed.
Reply:Very sorry for your loss. It's very thoughtful of you not to just throw them away. You could always take some to the nursing home or a local hospital. or even give some to your other family members.
Reply:Perhaps you could bring the flowers to a hospital and let them do something with them -- such as give them to a sick kid or something. Not sure if that is a good idea or not? But I would like to send you my condolences on your child's passing.
Reply:I am sure any nursing home would appreciate them. It would brighten up their lives. Maybe a hospital .I am so sorry for your suffering.
Reply:many arrangements are very beautiful. donate them to a nursing home, church, any where you see fit.
Reply:Take them to a nursing home or the hospital and just carry them room to room until you run out. The elderly will love it, most do not have alot of family left or enough that visit.
Reply:When my dad passed away we ended up with a lot of flowers. So we took them to a local nursing home and shared them with the folks there. They were very appreciative.


Sorry to hear about your loss. God bless
Reply:Oh how sorry to hear this..





My dad is a funeral director, and he said for you to take the ones that can be planted to the head stone, and plant them there, for the grounds keeper will help look after them, and you can come and weed every so offten,..





I know my step mother did this for her mom!! So it was and does look nice!!





Or take the flowers and hang them upside down to dry out, and make a photo frame in your home, like a box frame to place the dry flowers in, with a photo of your son, or the card given out to the guests...





Good Luck and God Bless!!
